 VIVIT | I think the reason it isn't expressed in terms of information entropy is because mathematical objects are not really conceived as information. You can have information that represents a mathematical object, but that's not the same thing as the object itself. | 23:19:19 |
| VIVIT | for example, {a, b} and {b, a} are different information, but they represent the same set. | 23:19:50 |
| Cur_固嚛訥 | Vivit, may I ask if you contribute at all to the university system or if you purely self-study? | 23:20:55 |
| VIVIT | I just self-study. | 23:21:33 |
| Cur_固嚛訥 | Aw, let me invite you to my other emptier channel too then! lol | 23:22:03 |
| Cur_固嚛訥 | I come to an interesting conclusion about Cicada 3301. | 23:23:45 |
| Cur_固嚛訥 | I believe they terminated the graduation process to the final puzzle,
because they discovered a systemic reasoning error in the design process. | 23:27:24 |
| Cur_固嚛訥 | * I come to an interesting hypothesis about Cicada 3301. | 23:31:24 |
| Cur_固嚛訥 | I will say hypothesis. | 23:31:34 |
| Cur_固嚛訥 | The error made first appearance with the song "Interconnectedness.mp3". | 23:35:15 |
| VIVIT | hypothesis as opposed to theory? lol | 23:39:25 |
| Cur_固嚛訥 | Then re-appeared on the second page of avowyfgl5lkzfj3n.onion
when a character in the second koan replies "I am professor" to "who are you"
and again on the third page when that character's reference changes to "the professor". | 23:40:42 |
| VIVIT | Don't beat yourself up over using one word or the other. The distinction only applies to the empirical sciences. Unless you intend to conduct a scientific experiment to test your guess, the hypothesis/theory distinction isn't actually relevant. | 23:42:18 |
| Cur_固嚛訥 | The hypothesis has a certain degree of external falsifiability. | 23:41:01 |
| Cur_固嚛訥 | Mm political science doesn't really have the traditional sort of experiments. | 23:43:22 |
| VIVIT | It's not an empirical science. | 23:43:37 |
| Cur_固嚛訥 | A contentious assertion! | 23:44:23 |
| VIVIT | I thought you said it didn't have "the traditional sort of" experiments. | 23:45:55 |
| Cur_固嚛訥 | Lacks the pretense of a moral question about empires and science in there too. lol | 23:46:07 |
| VIVIT | ... | 23:46:16 |
| Cur_固嚛訥 | In our discourse I mean | 23:46:20 |
| Cur_固嚛訥 | lol | 23:46:23 |
| VIVIT | That's not what the word "empirical" means. | 23:46:36 |
| VIVIT | You're thinking "imperial". | 23:46:42 |
| Cur_固嚛訥 | A lexical association exists! rofl | 23:47:01 |
| VIVIT | "Empirical" means "based on sensory experience". | 23:48:31 |
| Cur_固嚛訥 | If one assumes subjectivism, then science is an imperialism of the mind. | 23:48:53 |
